                                 RECESS

  Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President, I ask the Senate recess for no longer than 
10 minutes and at the end of that recess period the senior Senator from 
West Virginia be recognized.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Thereupon, at 4:16 p.m., the Senate recessed until 4:25 p.m.; 
whereupon, the Senate reassembled when called to order by the Presiding 
Officer (Mr. Sessions).
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Under the previous order, the Senator from 
West Virginia is to be recognized.
  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I may yield to 
the distinguished senior Senator from North Carolina for such time as 
he may require to introduce some guests.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The 
Senator from North Carolina is recognized.
  Mr. HELMS. I thank the Chair and certainly thank the distinguished 
Senator from West Virginia for whom I have the greatest admiration.
